Multi-instanton effect in two-dimensional QCD

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We analyze multi-instanton sector in two dimensional U(N) Yang-Mills theory on a sphere. We obtain a contour intregrals representation of the multi-instanton amplitude and find ``neutral configurations of the even number instantons are dominant in the large N limit. Using this representation, we calculate 1,2,3,4 bodies interactions and the free energies for N=3,4,5 numerically and find that in fact the multi-instanton interaction effect essentially contribute to the large N phase transition discovered by Douglas and Kazakov.
